When you hit the road and land in a new city like Rome, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Rome spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Rome.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Rome, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Rome awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Rome, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Rome. Get ready to explore like a local!

Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"My wife and I had a short time in Rome and Valeria was amazing. Aside from being very knowledgeable of her city she was able to cram a lot into our tour. Valeria is well traveled and has a wonderful amount of experience she brings as a guide. She knows all the fascinating hidden locations and she even took the time to purchase our tickets to the Pantheon ahead of time. She has the eye of a photographer which I really appreciated as well. We had a great time with her and hope we can meet up with her again in our future visits to Rome My only complaint has nothing to do with Valeria but with the WithLocals platform. The pricing for guides is based on how many people are in the group, the more people, the lower the price and vice versa. So for my wife and I it initially showed a price of approximately $150 per person but when we checked out the total was over $600! That is because as you adjust the amount of people down…. The price goes up. I think it is a deceptive way of listing pricing. Again this is no reflection of our guide Valeria…she was awesome!"
"My husband and I loved seeing Rome, its food and its architecture through Daniele's eyes. He was warm, very knowledgeable and a joy to spend a few hours with. We tasted some amazing food, and we loved learning more about the city's history and its various buildings. Daniele even sent us some fantastic recommendations for our next stop - Naples. I highly recommend choosing Daniele. "
"It felt like exploring a city with a friend!"
"We had such a wonderful time with Paola. We enjoyed it and the kids loved it. You made our experience in Rome!"
"Valeria is very knowledgeable of ancient history to the present day. Very welcoming for us to ask questions, very adept reading our pace that allowed us to see more. Her English is excellent. It was extremely nice to navigate the crowd with her however we had a private tour for two which we recommend. "
"Alessandra is a fabulous tour director. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Alessandra touring the Vatican. She is from Rome but learned the English language at a young age which was helpful for us. Her knowledge of history, the Roman church, the Vatican on Rome in general was a true gift as we spent time with her. We highly recommend Alessandra and thank her for a day fun of history and kindness. "
"Logged into With Locals to recommend this tour for my sister and realized I never left a review. We visited Rome in Oct 2022 and still think about it often. A highlight of the trip was this tour with Francesca!! Definitely recommend! "
"We had a fabulous afternoon with Massimo. His knowledge is amazing, like a walking encyclopedia. We tried delicious local food, and this was blended with a thoroughly interesting history of Rome. 5 Stars. I would recommend highly to anyone."
"Eleonora was a fantastic guide! We booked a private tour of the Vatican and she was so sweet, very insightful, and took our preferences of what we’re interested in seeing into consideration. I would highly recommend a tour with her as you will learn so much and gain a friend!"
"I would highly recommend Valentina as a guide for the Vatican. With ease she toured us round the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and St Mark's Square all within 2 hours. It was January and Valentina said it was quiet but there were still lots of people there. We got in the correct queues, saw the pertinent pieces of art and stopped to discuss art and architecture that piqued our interest. Valentina is knowledgeable , fun, speaks excellent English and really enhanced our tour and trip to Rome. Book a guide it's worth it."
